One of the Phillies who is most likely headed elsewhere has a no-trade clause. No surprise.

Marlon Byrd has had suitors this season but they have been met by a peculiar four-team no-trade clause the Phillies gave Byrd in the offseason. The two of the four teams - the Blue Jays and Rays - are on the list because they play on artificial turf.

How the two other teams - the Mariners and Royals - landed on the list is a little more... curious. "I'm not sure why I picked those two teams," Byrd told Jayson Stark of ESPN.

"I don't know how that happened," Byrd told Stark. "You know, it's weird. If you have a 20-team no-trade, there's some thought that goes into it. But… somehow, it just worked out this year to where those were two of the four teams."

Byrd is owed just $2.61 million following the July 31st trading deadline but is guaranteed $8 million next season as a 37-year-old with an $8 million vesting option for 2016. If the 2016 option doesn't vest with 600 plate appearances in 2015 then it becomes a team option.

Byrd, who turns 37 on August 30th, could be a solid addition for a club looking for an outfield boost to make a postseason appearance. Byrd is batting .273/.321/.482 with 20 home runs and 60 RBIs in 105 games for the Phillies this season. He has provided valuable right-handed power batting behind Ryan Howard in the Phillies lineup.

The $8 million guaranteed for an outfielder in his late-30s might be a turn off but for an American League team who could potentially utilize him as a designated hitter from time to time it might not be so bad.
